The Poetry Seat on Ilkley Moor - situated in the remains of an old shooting lodge, the aim is for visitors to sit, enjoy the views and be inspired to write poem (or read one that another person has submitted). The project was commissioned by Ilkley Literature Festival.

This was one of the most surprising spots I have ever encountered on a hike. The handle is a bit stiff but I managed to get a few poems out to read.
